Many of the varieties that have been cultivated for ornamental use produce small, unpalatable fruit. Edible cherries generally come from cultivars of the related species Prunus avium and Prunus cerasus.

In short, yes, they have fruit, but its not good to eat. The cherries that you know and maybe love come from similar trees.
